You've worked hard to achieve your academic and career goals, yet success hasn't brought the peace you expected. I help high-achieving women and adolescent girls who struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. While others see you as confident and accomplished, you may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself. If you're tired of constantly meeting expectations while neglecting your own well-being, and you realize it is time for a change.
You don't have to stay stuck in survival mode. Therapy can help you reduce stress, quiet self-doubt, set healthier boundaries, and prioritize your well-being. Together, we'll help you build confidence, find balance, and enjoy the life you've worked so hard to create—with greater peace, fulfillment, and joy.
Because we believe therapy should fit your life, we make care accessible with in-person and secure telehealth therapy, so you can choose what works best for you. We also offer psychological/psychoeducational evaluations for ages 6+, for ADHD, learning disabilities, immigration, presurgical, and other emotional/behavioral concerns online and in person.
